This is a story of two boys in two families in two communities, with two different religions and
two different ways of life…that God brought together as brothers in Christ. This story evolves over
many years and many miles. It’s not a story about a successful evangelistic campaign or the power
of loud preaching…but it’s a story of a lifelong friendship, the joy of reading, and the power of God’s
Word.
